ANOTHER tragedy of form that is rapidly becoming stereotyped: A young woman was found dead by the roadside at Railway, N.J., throat cut, face defaced by heel stamps, and other signs of brutal treatment one day last week, and none of the thousands who have looked at her, many of them in search of some one missing, could identify her or give 8 clue to the mystery.

SHAKESPEARE'S OLD HOME

The Shakespeare house vas purchased
10 the same way as was Mount Vernon.
in the home of Washington. 1t is nomi
nally the property of the people With
us Mount Vernon is controlled by an as
ISOLATION of ladies, who find much amuse-
ment, comfort and importance in direct
iug the Affairs of that place, but there
has never been any charge of admission
made to Mount Vernon The public
cannot view the Shakespeare house with
out paying sixpence to see the living
rooms and Eixpence more to view the
second part of the house, which is filed
up with a lot of rubbish, supposed ia
have some relation to the Shakesperian
period. This represents about 25 cents
of our money, and as there is an average
of $50 visitors day to the Shakespeare
honse, this would foot up an income of
$50 per day. Certainly this great
amount of money is not all required for
keeping up very plain house. Two or
three hundred dollars year would sure
ly cover that expenditure. What be
comes of this large sum would afford al
i teresting subject of inquiry, l shouli
say, with the people of England, who
are supposed to own the place.
Nearly all of the show places of Eug
land have entrance fees charged for ad
mission.-Cor. New York World.

Dogs as Servants.

Dogs are still put to draft work in
Germany. Milk carts, laundress'
carts, and other small vehicles are
very frequently drawn either by dog
alone or by dog and man side by
side. The animal pulls from his
chest; he goes to work cheerfully,
wagging his tail. and looking about
him like the intelligent, sympathetic
creature he is; and Of course a word is
sufficient to guide him. These SER
want dogs are mostly very affect
ionately treated, at any rate in south
Germany, and seldom appear at all
distressed. 1t is question whether
any physical endurance of the kind in

electrical device, the loss Of tons of the
